Creation Inspired by Music

Abstract

This study reveals the preliminary results of a project involving pre-service preschool teachers (N=32). This investigation is relevant since it is crucial that students must benefit from tasks aimed at developing productive imagination during their preschool teacher training, as their future job is one of the professions that requires the most creativity within pedagogy. Accordingly, in the framework of the “Play in the Arts” course, the participants could experience the manifestation of their own creative imagination through a multi-step project. As a result, various unique products (drawings or paintings; stories; scenes of the stories visualised in plasticine; photos of scenes; photo slides etc.) were created. The results are related to the first phase of the project: creating associations inspired by music, then representing the created internal images and verbal associations as external images.
